Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir sparked widespread controversy after celebrating his 50th birthday with imagery linked to the execution of Palestinian prisoners.
Photos and videos circulated on social media showed Ben-Gvir receiving a large three-tiered birthday cake topped with a golden execution noose.
The imagery was widely interpreted as a reference to legislation supporting the death penalty for Palestinian prisoners, a policy long championed by Ben-Gvir and his far-right Otzma Yehudit party.
The law was passed by the Israeli Knesset earlier this year.
